LATE SUMMER CROP
Cherry tomatoes turning red
Cucumbers dried up all…
Our whiskey barrel’s season is through,
But marigolds are standing tall.
–
The vines are dried-up memories,
As are the bumper crops…
Just a few more weeks of temperatures
For swimsuits and flip-flops!

OVER A (HALF-) BARREL
My wife likes growing plants,
As long as they don’t harbor ants…
A friend made her laugh
With a barrel (just half),
In the garden to dirty MY pants!
–
The bending and work–you know who–
Will do as he’s asked to do…
For veggies and flowers
He’ll work it for hours,
Maybe get a taste of it, too!

WHERE’S THE FOLLOW-UP???
I spent Sunday afternoon
On a walk and the garden to groom…
I spent my free time
As I was inclined,
Picking dead spikes from lilies gone soon.
–
The problem is, I didn’t keep
Up with exercise this week…
One leg is stiff,
It won’t make a “diff.”
I have to do rounds as I speak!
–
I’ll get along with the limp
I have ’cause one leg is gimp…
You’d think by now
I’d learn somehow,
That I’m not limber as a chimp!
